    Challenges→Property holism holds in the modal interpretation of quantum mechanics.

    Supervenience failure requires showing no logically possible base-level completion recovers whole-system properties, which modal interpretations' biorthogonal decomposition does not conclusively preclude.

    Key Terms

    Base-level(as used in metaphysics and philosophy of science)
    The fundamental starting point or foundation in a system—like individual atoms or subatomic particles being the base level for larger physical objects.
    Biorthogonal decomposition(as used in quantum mechanics and philosophy of physics)
    A mathematical technique in quantum mechanics that breaks down a system's state into paired components that have a special balanced relationship to each other.
    Logically possible(modal logic and possibility)
    Something that doesn't break the rules of logic or create a contradiction, even if it's unlikely to actually happen in real life.
    Whole-system properties(as used in philosophy of science and metaphysics)
    Characteristics that describe an entire system as a unified thing, rather than just its individual parts (for example, the 'wetness' of water is a whole-system property that individual H2O molecules don't have alone).

    Explore a random proposition
    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    modal interpretations(quantum mechanics interpretation)
    Interpretations of quantum mechanics that take real states of systems to be closely related to quantum states, diverging from the Copenhagen prescription
    supervenience(Philosophy of mind and reduction; contrasted with full reduction)
    A relation in which mental (or higher-level) states are dependent on physiological (or lower-level) states such that any two cases with identical lower-level bases are identical in their higher-level states; a necessary but not sufficient condition for reduction.
    supervenience failure(as used in metaphysics and philosophy of mind)
    A situation where a higher-level fact or property cannot be fully explained by or derived from lower-level facts, creating a philosophical problem about how things depend on each other.
